Aprillegrace Love & Couture at ACFW
One of the highlights for me at Atlantic City Fashion Week this past October was the Aprillegrace Love & Couture collection from LA fashion designer Aprille Grace. Her beautiful collection was both hot and glamorous and I just love the gold fabrics. I’m excited that she’ll be back at ACFW in the spring and can’t wait to see what her next collection will have to offer.
If you’re in LA, track down her collection at La Maison de Fashions (7471B Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA. 90046). Otherwise, follow her on Facebook here, follow her on Instagram @aprillegrace. Tickets for the next edition of ACFW (February 23-27, 2016) are available at www.atlanticcityfashionweek.net. See you in February, Aprille!
Runway Pic From Montclair Fashion Night Out
I recently received this great professional photo of my runway walk for That Little Black Dress as part of Montclair Fashion Night Out on September 26, 2015. This was one of my favorite fashion memories from 2015. Thank you to Fifth+Park Style and Image Consulting for sending the photo and to Lauren Wisnewski Photography for the great shot!
I met so many wonderful people at this event and I’m looking forward to returning in 2016!
TOUS & Harper’s Bazaar
I was thrilled to receive an invitation to the TOUS & Harper’s Bazaar celebration of the latest TOUS Collection at the TOUS Rockefeller Center Store (610 5th Avenue, New York City) on November 12. (We got to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree starting to go up!)
Hosted by the fabulous Alana Quagliariello, ShopBAZAAR Editor, this posh event featured champagne, hors d’oeuvres and lots of wonderful TOUS jewelry, bags and accessories, not to mention a warm, friendly crowd, a lot of fun, and some of my favorite TOUS friends.
Special thank you to Neila from TOUS Garden State Plaza for hooking me up!

Love Harper’s Bazaar!
With my wonderful new friend, Letty. She’s going to teach me to bake and I’ll show her how to cook. If you visit TOUS Rockefeller Center, be sure to stop by and tell her that I said hello (and buy something!)
And I went home with a great TOUS and Harper’s swag bag. I’ll be posting more about that soon.

Interview on the Red Carpet
I had such a great time at the Lactrodectus ribbon cutting and grand opening party yesterday. So many great people were there and I hope this new family business will have a lot of success.
The highlight for me was my red carpet interview, conducted by journalist and model Niara Johnson, for Fashion In The Fast Lane TV. (How amazing is that green dress?) I hope to get video to post later, but here’s a photo from the interview.
My friend Niara was the winner of last year’s Fashion In The Fast Lane Ultimate Runway Walk-Off Competition and has a lot of great things ahead of her, both as a model and a fashion journalist. You can read her work in Fashion In The Fast Lane magazine. Follow her on Facebook at facebook.com/NIARAMODEL.
New Jersey Singer, Artist and Model Pastele Pasquelina
On Saturday, October 24, I was invited to attend a ribbon cutting grand opening of Lactrodectus, a new clothing store in East Rutherford, NJ (110 Hackensack St, East Rutherford, NJ 07073). I hope everyone in the East Rutherford area will stop by and support this new local family fashion business!
The special guest for the ribbon cutting was New Jersey singer, artist and model Pastele Pasquelina. This multi-talented artist and performer is an accomplished visual artist, along with her stunning modeling work and high-energy live performances.

That Little Black Dress in Montclair
I love any opportunity to visit one my favorite boutiques, That Little Black Dress, in Montclair, NJ! I had the opportunity to walk in a runway show for them in September, and became friends with the store’s wonderful owner, Jenna Davis. (Hi, Jenna!)
Montclair had a Ladies Night Out event recently, so I wanted to stop by for some fashion, friends and wine at this special shop. What fun hanging out with Jenna and her sales associates and check out some of her latest cool finds.
If you’re in Montclair, it’s worth a trip to visit TLBD at 179 Glenridge Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042. Check out her website (www.shopthatlbd.com) or call 973-233-0523 for store hours. Make sure you let Jenna know that Myra from Febeary Fashionista says hello!
Jenna had some “Little Black Dress” wine ready!
How cool is that colorful vest?
Philadelphia Fashion Alliance – Designer Terese Sydonna
My biggest new discovery at the October 11 Philadelphia Fashion Alliance Launch Event, is designer Terese Sydonna.
Terese Sydonna, the brand, is a contemporary ready-to-wear and accessories brand designed for the superhero in all of us. Inspired by bold prints, sculpture, and unexpected detail, Terese Sydonna’s collections celebrate a modern landscape where art, fashion and comfort intersect. Stylish, yet maintenance free, 95% of the collection is machine washable, quick drying, and wrinkle-free.
Terese Sydonna, the designer, is a 2014 alum of the Philadelphia Fashion Incubator at Macy’s, holds a dual degree in Economics & Business and Studio Art from Lafayette College, and a Fashion Design degree from The Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.), and is super-cool, friendly and one of my new favorites. And, yes, one of those print jackets is now hanging in my closet. I couldn’t resist!
